XKCD Colors in Unity!

Hello,

Just thought I'd share a simple, but very entertaining and possible even somewhat useful script

Some time ago, Randall Munroe of xkcd did an online survey asking people to name randomly selected colors from the RGB spectrum.

http://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/

The submissions were analyzed, averaged and turned into a huge list of color names.
One developer called Rune Grimstad, compiled that list into a .NET class.

I grabbed that class, and did a quick conversion so that the color strings are translated into something Unity will understand.

Here it is. The XKCDColors class, ported to Unity:

(I wanted to post the code, but it's way too long and the forum won't let me, so here's the file)

There are over 900 colors there, all listed as static properties. The internal class is my unity conversion, that translates the strings into actual color values.

So, if you're tired of the old Color.grey, and Color.magenta from the default Unity color constants, and would like something better, like XKCDColors.LightPeriwinkle or XKCDColors.BabyPoopGreen, this is for you!

Have fun!

Cheers

 

I've added the XKCDColors class into the wiki:

It might be useful for someone, or at least provide a good laugh

Cheers

 

Thank You @HarvesteR!

 

Is that the default Kerbal color?

Great work, thanks.

 

You, HarvesteR, are a gentleman and a scholar.
